Description:

Camp Wildfolk is a child-centered day camp with 3 locations: West Hollywood, East Valley (Valley Village), and a new West Valley location (Encino). Wildfolk is project-based and truly unique- offering a balanced blend of structure and choice, with activities and staff campers are wild about!
The spirit infused throughout camp feels “old school,” yet grounded in a mindful and intentional way of supporting and guiding children. Camp Wildfolk’s caring, silly, and wildly fun Guides are often cited as the #1 reason campers return year after year.
Wildfolk offers a variety of programs to tailor many age groups. Their main camp hosts 1st-7th graders with exciting electives and teambuilding opportunities. Campers choose 3 electives for each two-week “Classic” session: something active, something brainy, and something artsy.

Their specialized Young Folks program for rising Pre-K, TK, and Kinders sells-out early every year. The Guides-in-Training (GIT) program offers leadership opportunities for tweens and teens (7th-10th grade).

New this year are specialty one-week Makers Camps: Messy Makers (cooking + science), Mini-Mansions (dollhouse-style designing), and Board Games (creating their very own games to take home). Plus, they offer a few Adventure Camps to provide big thrills for kids looking to go on awesome field trips!

Wildfolk is well organized, thoughtful, highly communicative, and kid’s favorite camp to return to year after year. They offer Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer programs (plus parties!). Get Wild!
